— as a word to the wise, give yourself plenty of time to do your makeup!

If you already have long hair and own blue clothes, this is a costume you can put together easily on a budget with a little creativity. Or, if you’re okay with exposing your skin, you can airbrush your entire body blue and wear a swim suit overtop. If you really want to go all out, get yellow or hazel color contacts for the added effect.

Being a Na’vi was a lot of fun! At the Halloween party we went to, virtually no one recognized me (this could be to your favor!). Even though Avatar was really popular and prevalent last year, it was surprising how few people knew what my costume was. Since my husband dressed up as Aladdin, I was mistaken for his genie. Sure. It works.

If you want to be a Na’vi this year, below is a great N’Avi makeup tutorial from Promise. She does an amazing job!
